I have one of these scopes. Its been in the spare room gathering dust for a long time but recently I have had it back out for a look.
I have been looking at Jupiter and Saturn with a fair quality 6.5mm eyepiece. I think the view is quite acceptable. Happy to keep nudging the scope along to follow the target but I find it really jerky and sticky when the target is high overhead. It's not so bad when the target is closer to the horizon.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to improve this aspect of the scopes performance?
..... and from one Mick to another .... enjoy your scope Mick.
I reckon my mirror needs a clean too. It's grubby. Maybe some steel wool will do the trick?
